RG3 explains his dad's visit to the locker room

Because any and every bit of news related to the Washington Redskins quarterback causes seismic waves in D.C., the story about Robert Griffin III’s father visiting his son after the ‘Skins Monday night loss to the San Francisco 49ers made national headlines. When asked about the visit in a Wednesday press conference, RG3 grew testy. He defended his father and explained that he came to the locker room to check on him after the, uh, unfortunate collision his midsection had with Aldon Smith’s foot during the game. Well, why don’t I let RG3 explain what happened?

RG3 is saying that RG2 was just making sure that all was clear for an RG4. No harm in that.

But the younger Griffin was on the defensive anyway.

Right on, RG3. The whole uproar about his dad ‘s visit is baffling. I’m sorry, when did an NFL locker room, home to half-naked men in towels, poorly dressed reporters and more cameras than a paparazzi convention, become an exclusive sanctuary in which interlopers aren’t allowed? It’s not like RG3 is a surgeon and RG2 scrubbed in to help out. He’s a quarterback and his dad wanted to come say hey. I know my father often visits me when I’m writing on the couch in his basement. What’s the difference?
